Claire Benedict is a Lecturer in Music at the University of Canterbury's Faculty of Arts, specializing in creative music technology, digital screen, and composition. With a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Otago (2025), she brings expertise in studio production, vocal performance, and the intersection of technology and music. Her educational background includes: Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA), University of Otago (2025) Postgraduate Diploma in Music Composition, University of Otago (2016) Bachelor of Contemporary Music, Southern Institute of Technology (2013) Bachelor of Audio Production, Southern Institute of Technology (2012) LTCL in Classical Singing, Trinity College London (2016) Claire's research explores how emerging technologies like AI intersect with traditional music performance. Her doctoral work examined autonomous choral recording through advanced vocal modeling, revealing technology's limitations in capturing nuanced human ensemble interaction. She investigates acoustics, resonance, and how AI can augment (but not replace) creative workflows while maintaining artistic integrity. Her teaching includes Acoustics and Recording Techniques (MUSA152), Sound Technologies (MUSA-DIGI126), Audio Production (MUSA228), and Sound Design and Editing (DISC232). She mentors students in UC recording studios and supervises postgraduate research, emphasizing both technical foundations and creative innovation. Claire's publications consistently explore 'Sectional Surrealism' concepts, examining choral recording techniques and AI-vocal performance intersections. Her 2024 public discussion 'An Evening with Claire Benedict, Rachel Fuller & Catrin Johnsson' addressed whether AI can replicate the complexity of human choir performance. She actively contributes to the music community through charity concerts and interdisciplinary collaborations, demonstrating her commitment to exploring the boundaries between human creativity and technological capability in music production.

Dr Simon Connor is a Lecturer in Music Technology at the University of Salford's School of Arts, Media and Creative Technologies, concurrently completing his PhD at the University of Huddersfield's Centre for Research in New Music (CeReNeM). His academic role bridges creative practice and scholarly research in sound design and composition for film and gallery installations. Connor's research focuses on the intersection of sound design and composition through field recordings, traditional instrumentation, and spatial audio technologies. His work investigates sonic approaches to landscape, environment, and place, with significant emphasis on multimodal artistic landscapes utilizing multi-screen projection and headtracked binaural audio systems. Key projects include the practice-based 'Oden' research and the documentary film 'Action Space'. Analysis of his 2018-2019 research outputs reveals consistent exploration of spatial audio techniques in environmental contexts, creative reuse of archival materials, and documentary sound design. Projects like 'Odin's Gully' demonstrate sophisticated integration of field recordings with audiovisual installation, while 'Action Space' examines sound design methodologies for low-budget documentary production. Connor leads undergraduate modules in 'Audio for Media' (Levels 5-6), the MA module 'Immersive & Interactive Sonic Experiences', and lectures on 'Studio Composition'. He actively seeks PhD candidates in sound design/media, spatial audio applications, and sonic landscape representation. He maintains strong industry connections through collaborations with We Are Willow collective and filmmakers like Huw Wahl, while contributing to the university's Creative Technology Research Centre. His work has been featured on BBC Radio 3 and exhibited internationally at CPH DOX, DOKU Arts Festival, FILAF, and ICA London.

Jachin Edward Pousson is a composer, musician, and guest lecturer in the Department of Musicology at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music (JVLMA), where he also serves as a researcher in Systematic Musicology while pursuing doctoral studies. His work bridges acoustic composition with cutting-edge technology across performance, instrument design, and interactive systems. His educational background includes a Master's degree in Composition earned in 2015 from both the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and JVLMA. Since relocating to Riga in 2012, he has produced 21 academic compositions spanning solo to orchestral formats and delivered over 50 performances across diverse contexts from rock festivals to academic venues. Research focuses on Brain-Computer Music Interfacing and audio-reactive visual systems , particularly through his electroacoustic free improvisation trio Endless Roar which projects multi-layered synchronized visuals during performances at experimental festivals, cathedrals, and museums. His technological explorations extend to live electronics and novel musical instrument design. As manager of the Endless Roar trio, he develops performance frameworks integrating real-time audio analysis with immersive projection systems, appearing regularly in experimental music circuits and institutional academic settings across Europe.
